This is how we settle down after lunch! How cute is this?!  

Wowee Kazowee! These kids were the top Choir Beasts in their classes this week! A few of them are even earning the nickname “PIPES” because they’ve got such big voices and are leading their sections! These kids have been truely Llam-tastic this week! We love having their help each day! Two Hooves Up to all of them!!  (Click on our Facebook link to see their pictures!)

2ndly, A reminder to all of you who have signed up to chaperone.

You will need to go here —> https://www.mcsin-k12.org/hr/volunteer/form.cfm and complete the background consent form if you haven’t already filled one out this year.  It will last for the entire year and can be used for any school functions you are helping supervise.  At the bottom you just click “Submit” and you are done.  Please try to get this completed this week.  (I’d give you a Llama-rrific sticker….but that would be difficult!)

Finally,  If you have any “gently used” choir black pants, black skirts, white shirts, or black dress shoes that your child has grown out of, would you please donate those to our CHOIR CLOSET?  We can pass them on to students who are in need.  Thank you!

Our sixth grade class after lunch!  Wait until you hear them!  And yes, this us one class!!!l

Hi parents!  In case your copy of our letter doesn’t make it home today, here is a copy of the letter we gave to the boys in choir.

Parents of our girls, the only things you need to know are:

A.  The Just the Guys Concert will take place on Monday, October 16th at 7:30 in the NHS Auditorium.   This is not a mandatory performance for our ladies because….well they aren’t guys!

B.  Your girls are going to want to come to the Just The Guys Concert because…

1.  They know that our guys will be AMAZING.
2. They will want to show their  “team spirit” by supporting the young men in their choir.
3.  Girls that attend receive a “FREEBIE” pass for coming to the concert.
4. There will be hundreds of boys there……  enough said.  🙂

C.  This is a short concert.  It will run from 7:30 – 8:00 p.m. (8:15 at the latest).

We had another fantastic week in choir classes.  The kids are really starting to open up and sing!  Leaders are popping out in every class.  Our top choir beasts this week are listed below.  If you would like to see pictures, just head over to our facebook page.  We’ve got quite a “herd” developing!  (Quick link to FB page is in the right column of our website!).

Today we sent home an extremely important packet of information for all choir parents.  There is an orange sheet (parent letter) that explains everything, and a big packet from the MMPA regarding the SwingFry performance and fundraiser.  Please ask your child for your copy.  If it doesn’t make it home and into your hands, you can click on the link below to see the letter.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!!

Thank you parents for coming to the Green Carpet Gala Meeting at NHS last night.  We were able to cover a lot of issues that we are facing right now.  Doing it face to face is so much more valuable than trying to communicate through letters, and notes on the internet!  We appreciate all of you very much.

We will be sending home a packet of information in case you missed it!  Hopefully you will see it by Friday.  Topics covered were:

• Concerts
• Choir Activities outside of class:  rollerskating, movie/pizza, lock in
• Volunteer coorespondence
• Choir Fees
• The SpringFry Fall Fundraiser for all choir students
• Show Choir
• The Choir Handbook, where to find it, and what is in it.
• Feeding the 400 for Christmas and Final Blast Dinners

Thanks again, and we will be in touch soon!  Mrs. A
